Harry
Lauder sorts through a pile of fan-mail in the "sitting room" of
Lauder Ha' with his Golden Retreiver, Bruce.

Note the deer-skin foot-stool complete with "hoof" legs.

Sir Harry,
with a large oil portrait (7'3"x4'2") of his son, Captain John
Lauder, painted in 1915 by well-known Scottish artist Cowan Dobson (1858-1929).

The alabaster sculpture in the corner is titled "Motherly Love" (19th
century Italian sculptor E. Faschi).

The statue
of Robert Burns was created in 1910 by Hugh Cairns (of Boston, USA?).

Sir Harry
in the "sitting room" at Lauder Ha' with the Weber walnut piano
upon which he wrote many of his famous songs.

When the contents of Lauder Ha' were auctioned in May 1966, the piano was
purchased by Scottish entertainer Jimmy Logan, known, among other things,
for his on-stage portrayal of Harry Lauder.

When Logan died in 2001 the piano was once again auctioned, this time by
Shapes Auctioneers in Edinburgh, where the piano sold for more than £7,000.

The
landing, half-way up the grand staircase at Lauder Ha'. The top-most
stained-glass windows reads, "This house is God's gift", while
the one below reads, "Lauder". Both windows may
be viewed in detail by scrolling down.

The marble bust of Harry Lauder is by Sir William Reid Dick (1878-1961). A
well-known sculptor, Dick was also commissioned to create bronze busts
of King George VI and Queen Mary, now in the collection of the National
Portrait Gallery, London.
